On Saturday night lastv a company of men, six or eight, in disguise, went to the house of Mr. Kichard Brooks, jailor, and awoke him up, ordered him to otrike a light which he did. Two men entered the house with pistols in hand, while other were standing at the doors. They called far the keys of he jail, which he h.id to hand over to the outlaws. They then luorm-edJMr. Brooks that if he attempted to come outside in half an hour he would have his head shot oil". Part of the gang kpt guard at Mr. Brooks while the others went to the jail and took out their comrades, the two Shaver boys. They then went to the Jhotel where Mr. A. B. Kennedy was who was supposed to be a urfsoner in jail, us he had never tilled any bond, and Invited him to go along with them. lie went, and no doubt he is now with his family In Texas. They also went into the Pkosvkct office and got some kuKlux regalia's that had been stored in a close of the office since the tirst arrests made by the citizens last August. They did not disturb anything in the office, not even a type misplaced, for which they have our thanks. To The Voters of Ripley.
